‘Tariff foreign remote employees’: Is Peter Navarro supporting ‘outsourcing tax’ after ‘profiteering Brahmins’ comment?

Peter Navarro shared Jack Poso’s publish calling for imposing tax on foreign remote employees.

US President Donald Trump’s commerce adviser Peter Navarro has shared a publish by Conservative commentator Jack Poso during which Poso known as for tariffing foreign remote employees. Navarro is in the course of a serious row owing to his consecutive statements on India within the context of Trump’s 50% tariff — taking into consideration India’s buy of Russian oil. Navarro fired off many statements in latest days calling India the ‘maharaja of tariffs’ as he justified Trump’s punitive measures on India. “India is the maharaja of tariffs. They have the best tariffs on the planet. They export us a bunch of stuff. So, who will get harm? Workers in America, taxpayers, Ukrainians. Modi is a good chief. I don’t perceive why he’s entering into mattress with Putin and Xi Jinping when India is the most important democracy on the planet. I might merely say this to Indian individuals to know what’s going on right here. You have gotten Brahmins profiteering on the expense of the Indian individuals, and we would like that to cease,” Navarro said, inviting a volley of criticism as Brahmins in India and the concept of Brahmins in the US are not the same. In the US, the ‘Brahmin’ refers to the rich people.

‘All outsourcing should be tariffed’

Jack Poso floated the idea of tariffing foreign remote workers who are working for US companies from their own country. “Countries should pay for the privilege of offering providers remotely to the US the identical manner as items. Apply throughout industries, leveled as needed per nation,” Poso posted. US does not have any tariffs on services, but if the US imposes tariffs on services, it will impact major US businesses that rely on remote workers. Other countries could challenge such a measure at the World Trade Organization (WTO), since it may violate free-trade principles for services. Countries with large outsourcing industries would likely retaliate with tariffs on U.S. tech exports or restrictions on US companies hiring there.
